Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common

for Chinese

people to dream of a powerful

China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s thousands of

years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I

interviewed several

young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds(

教育背景

). Unsurprisingly, they all had their

own hopes and dreams for their own country.

Fred Wang, an MBA candidate(

学员

)

in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China.

Equality means all young people can compete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or

poor.

”

Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable

（负担

得起的）

home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line,

and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents when they are old

.” She said, “It seems like all my

dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”

Yiqiong Zha

ng, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been

holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build

and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano,

to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese

students.”

There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. The

y all love China, they

all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream”

needs hard work. Everyone should work hard to make

their dreams come true.
